Whilst predominantly specialising in locally caught seafood (our lobster and crab are caught in Catterline bay), we pride ourselves in providing a full range of dishes for those of you desiring something other than the "catch of the day".

Our menu remains fresh, changing every 4 months, in-keeping with the seasons, reflecting traditionally available produce from the sea and land at that time.

Additionally, many of our customers eat from our specials board, which changes daily depending on what fruits the sea provides, offering yet more variety to our recognised favourites. Vegetarians are also catered for on our specials board and starters can also be increased in size to provide alternative vegetarian main courses.

Our seafood is delivered daily from Gourdon and Aberdeen fish markets with our meat prepared and delivered daily from Charles McHardy Butchers in Stonehaven.

So, whatever your tastes are, come along and enjoy a well balanced meal in relaxed surroundings situated amongst spectacular scenery. We don't think you will find a better eating experience in the area.

 Mon to Friday a new  “Light Lunch”

We have introduced a new “light lunch menu” with smaller portions at a reduced price, to accommodate many of our customers who are looking for an alternative to a full lunch.

If you would like a more traditional “fuller” lunch please feel free to choose from our specials board.

Light Lunch 2 courses inc. coffee £12.95 - 3 courses inc. coffee £15.95.

Starters - | fish | meat | desserts |

Can't wait to try some delights
written by Sara, June 16, 2011

My sister, my partner and I are coming with my parents for Fathers day dinner on Sunday. We can't wait!! My sister has been before and raves about your food, as for the rest of us, this is our first time. I really hope your seafood platter has lobster and all the trimmings as my dad and my sis are MEGGA seafood lovers and I have become quite a lobster lover myself. Can you confirm what will be available on Sunday so I can pass on the news to an eager set of mouths!

Thanks

Sara
